Chapter 386: Blind Worry
Xie Xiaowan wore the crown dress of the county lord today, with a red gold silk jacket on her upper body, a light blue patterned skirt on her lower body, a "pearl jade crown" inlaid with pearls and emerald gemstones, and bright moon beads in her ears.
Xie Xiaowan looks a little plump, and the scale of her chest is also obviously growing, her skin is white and red, her eyes are black and watery like a crescent, and her slightly upturned upper lip is delicate and smiling, which makes people feel close. This Nizi is no longer the yellow-haired girl with slightly dark skin and malnutrition at the beginning.
Coming down from the second sedan chair is Fei Ruyi, wearing a lake-green pleated long skirt, graceful and delicate, gentle and tranquil temperament, that pretty face that is disgusting and joyful makes people see it, this girl who is nearly nineteen this year, her beauty blooms more gorgeously.
Fei Jixiang was dressed in apricot yellow, his eyebrows were like paintings, and his body was about the same as his sister Fei Ruyi, and the two stood together as if they were blooming flowers. As for Fei Xiaoyu, the little pepper, she is also wearing her favorite pink dress today, with delicate eyebrows and lips like two peach blossoms.
"I've seen the county lord of Yongxiu!" The palace maids around all saluted Xie Xiaowan, who responded with a smile.
At this time, two girls, one big and one young, walked out of it, it was Yongfu and Yongchun two princesses, Yongchun was only ten years old this year, this little Lori ran over from afar, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaowan is here, people have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
At the beginning, Xie Xiaowan lived in Xingwangfu with her husband for nearly a month, so she was very familiar with Yongfu and Yongchun.
"I've seen Princess Yongfu, Princess Yongchun!" Xie Xiaowan hurriedly saluted Yongfu and Yongchun, familiar with it, but the necessary etiquette is indispensable, this is the palace, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, Xiaowan doesn't want to "embarrass" her father-in-law.
The three Fei Ruyi sisters also hurriedly followed Fuli to say hello.
Princess Yongfu is sixteen years old this year, although her temperament is still delicate and timid, her complexion is obviously much better than back then, and she looks more energetic, her slender figure is like a weak willow supporting the wind, and she nodded with a smile: "A few sisters don't have to be polite, the queen mother is inside, let's go in!" ”
The ladies exchanged a few words and walked into the house hand in hand.
In the hall at this time, the Empress Dowager Jiang of Xingguo sat on the main seat, and next to her sat a beautiful woman in her thirties, another concubine of Zhu Youyuan, the king of Xing, who had no children under her knees. In addition, the old eunuch An Dahai and the little emperor Zhu Houxi's nurse Fan Shi (Lu Bing's mother) were also present.
Xie Xiaowan and Fei Ruyi's daughters sat down after entering the house, and their own palace maids served fragrant tea. Under the gaze of Empress Dowager Jiang and others, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang were a little restrained, and even Fei Xiaoyu, a little pepper, sat obediently, with her hands on her lap in a regular manner.
The nurse Fan said exaggeratedly: "Ouch, I have long heard that several girls in the Fei family were born with a beautiful national beauty, and now it seems that it is true, look at this kind of figure, it is really a rare pretty person." ”
The Empress Dowager Jiang nodded with a smile, and Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang couldn't help but blush.
After half an hour of idle work, Jiang suddenly smiled and asked, "How old is Miss Jixiang this year, and what books do you usually read?" What are your hobbies? ”
As soon as these words came out, Xie Xiaowan and Fei Ruyi were slightly stunned, and then showed a thoughtful expression, Fei Jixiang frowned secretly, and replied politely: "Back to the Queen Mother, Jixiang is seventeen this year, and I don't usually read any books, I just need to recognize a few words, and I occasionally like to paint!" ”
Concubine Wang said with a smile: "Sister, Fei's family is worthy of being a scholarly family, and all the girls in the house are knowledgeable and courteous, and they can also paint, they are really versatile." ”
The Empress Dowager Jiang nodded with a smile: "That's true, by the way, why hasn't the emperor come down to the early court today?" ”
An Dahai, the eunuch standing beside him, said: "The early dynasty has been dispersed, I heard that there is an urgent eight hundred miles, and the emperor is holding a court meeting in the Wenhua Palace, it is estimated that there is an urgent matter!" ”
The Empress Dowager Jiang sighed softly, and everyone chatted for a while, and Xiao Lori Yongchun couldn't sit still, and offered to take Xie Xiaowan to play in the garden. Jiang has always doted on this little daughter, and the atmosphere is dull after chatting for a long time, it is better to let the young man play alone, so he nodded and agreed.
So, the ladies left the hall and went to the Cining Garden in front of them to play.
Concubine Wang took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile: "What does my sister think of the three girls of the Fei family?" ”
Jiang said: "If it is about appearance, it is naturally the third girl Fei Ruyi who is the most outstanding, and the temperament is the most gentle, but unfortunately the age is too different from the emperor, the age of the fifth girl Fei Xiaoyu is appropriate, but I am afraid that the temperament is not as good as the two sisters, a little wild!" ”
Wang said: "That sister is the fourth girl Fei Jixiang?" ”
Jiang nodded with a smile and said: "The fourth girl has a quiet and steady temperament, treats people and things decently and generously, and has nothing to say about her appearance, but her age is three years older than the emperor!" ”
The nurse Fan smiled: "What's the matter, the female junior, hug the gold bricks, and this girl looks good at giving birth." ”
"Queen Mother, what are you talking about?" The little emperor Zhu Houxi walked in in response, and he had already changed into a regular newspaper.
Jiang said with a smile: "The emperor is in court, he seems to be in a good mood today, is there anything to be happy about today?" ”
Zhu Houxi sat down next to Jiang Shi and said with a smile: "Xu Jin sent an eight-hundred-mile expedited from Shandong today, this guy is still jumping around, and I have been worried for two days." ”
Jiang Shi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Amitabha, God is pitiful, Xiao Xu is safe and sound!" ”
Concubine Wang smiled: "I said, Xiaowan is not a blessed person at first glance, how can she be widowed at a young age." ”
Zhu Houxi was in a very good mood today, took a piece of pastry on the plate casually, and asked while eating, "By the way, Sister Xiaowan, didn't they enter the palace today?" ”
Empress Dowager Jiang said with a smile: "They all went to the garden to play, by the way, what does the emperor think of the four girls of the Fei family?" ”
"Sister Jixiang? That's good! Zhu Houxi said casually.
"Is it okay for your mother to marry you back and be the queen?"
Zhu Houxi almost squirted out a mouthful of pastry, and said with a smile: "What are you talking nonsense about, queen mother!" ”
Jiang Shi glanced at his son and said: "Mother is serious, the emperor will be fourteen years old in a few days, and it is time to consider getting married, the four girls of the Fei family know books and etiquette, and they are all good-looking......"
Zhu Houxi interrupted angrily: "Queen Mother, I am now the emperor, not King Pan, how can I choose the daughter of the court official as the queen, don't worry about this matter, huh...... I went to the garden to find Sister Xiaowan! After saying that, he took two pieces of pastry and walked out while eating.
"Alas, Your Majesty...... This kid! Jiang shook his head helplessly.
